Set in the Street

Set in the Street

For this project, we had three days to take pictures at the “kitchen table”(a set that was made to look like a kitchen table so we could take pictures) that told a story. The inspiration for this project was Justin Bettman who would build sets of rooms in cities and photograph people who posed in them. This project, was also inspired by Carrie Mae Weems who took pictures at her actual kitchen table, that told a story of her life. While editing my photos I used the black and white tool, the cropping tool( with rule of thirds lines), the spiral selecting tool that I inverses and put a feather of 200 on to get a shadow above the light/lamp. If I were to take a picture in a room in my house where my family would tell a story it would probably be the kitchen. I think I would take the pictures in the kitchen because everyone is moving and I think it would be cool to take a picture of the kitchen in the morning and then at night to see the difference. In the pictures you would probably see my parents cooking with my younger sister and I helping, my entire family eating at the island,  my sister and I preparing our lunches and me helping my sister with homework.

For this project we had to take pictures of something or someone moving. However, the object/person could not be blurry in the picture. I had to take multiple pictures while the object was  moving and try different angles this way I had multiple options and could see which worked the best. I would say that for this project you should try to make the subject of the photo move as slow as possible so it is easier to capture the image. If I could I think it would be really cool to take pictures of ice hockey players in motion. Click HERE for more photos!
